Posted by admin
tropicalfreakfla asked:

Curious as to why Chile Peppers are dried? Can anyone provide any history? Are there any wives tales behind having a ristra?

Anyone know about the Scoville scale? Why and How it was used?

Thanks….

    Drying intensifies the flavor and makes it easier to add specific amounts to other foods.They also last longer when dried.
    The scoville scale is just used to determine the “hotness’ of chiles.
    Usually the larger the milder. The scotch bonnet is supposed to be the hottest.
